Cattle Bawling,,,

Well, i did make it back on,,,today, lol.  Been tired, taking it easy.  Didn't get back from Austin til 7 last nite.   Just in time for the Biggest Losers, love that show for some ungodly reason.  One of the nurses at the clinic i just went to this morning, told me she and her daughter applied and were gonna send in videos now.  That would be soooo cooollll!!.  They went and did an interview already.

Got my antibiotic renewed, need another round.  With that new 1cc fill taken out, i didn't wake up coughing last nite.  Was an instant thing.  He said to get over this, then we would go slower on the fills to get back to where it would be the best place.
Was down 3 lbs,,,, can't afford to have the pneumonia tho.

OK know i've bored everybody to death with this, should have just not done the blogs.   Heck, i'm sick of them too.

BB has FINALLY  shown back up, and about time.  While i was commenting on his blog, heard a heifer mooing, and that sound is so welcome.  From the time we moved here, when i was 6, you heard the sounds from the cattle stock pens at the auction barn.  The sales were on Tuesdays, and on Monday nites, there were 100s of cattle lowing and bawling.  On Monday you would see the big cattle trucks taking them there, then on Tues and Wed, they would be loaded leaving.  There were always some there, tho.  And no matter where i lived here, we could hear them.. When the owner shut it down a year or so ago, it was terrible.  Like something running in the background always there, then all of a sudden NOT.  So now,,ranchers are bringing in cattle and leaving them there for pick ups, and i'm back in my groove,,,I live just over the hill from it now, and love the sounds.  Ranchers not able to feed are being forced to sell, and in the paper today, a lot are being trucked North. On rvsue's blog, which i can't comment on, by the way!, she was talking about coyotes,,,,well, around here the ranchers asso. hires a trapper, hunter, and pays bounties on them.  Can't have them eating their stock, which runs from cattle, goats, barbado sheep, whatever.  They aren't tolerated.  Years ago, they put a donkey out with the herds, now they use those dogs, those big white ones.  Lol, my nephew has one,  but they made it a pet, so it doesn't stay out with the stock. lololol.  When those dogs were first imported they cost like 5000 each, and you got on a long waiting list.  A friend ordered a pair and bred them for years.  Now they are common.  Everywhere.  He did say he heard it one nite tearing something up and the dog came out on the top.  (my nephew).

Lol Hobo, didn't have the flat top then, but never lost the "personality",,,,loloololol.  By the time i was 14, i had decided you either worried about what other people thot, and never had any fun, OR,, you didn't,,,I took the latter.  I never did anything bad, but i sure had lots of fun.  Gosh,,we went out on Halloween nite and threw sacks of talc, later water balloons, til we were around 30.  Running all over town, hidden stashes, til the wee hours.  One woman told me,,she wished she had the guts to do that,,wellll DO IT.   There was a talc plant here, and we would "lift" a few bags,,laying outside, and spend weeks sacking that stuff, those itty bitty sacks.  When they hit something they burst, talc allll over ya.  Drove race cars, rode trails on motorcycles, i was NOT your typical woman.  And here i was, short and petite, about 115 lbs.  M hubby called one day and just kept insisting i come up there to the shop,,,so i finally did, and he told me to get on that great big bike out there and ride it.  I just looked at him like he was crazy and all i asked were how many gears, and how they shifted, and off i went.  Rode around the block and then found out the new employee did NOT believe i could ride that thing,,,well, i showed him!!  I skateboarded, roller skated, played football with the guys, til i got 2 toes stepped on and broke.  I never sat around with women wanting to talk kids, cooking,,etc.  Boringgggg.  Ok,,,gotta git.

What Will Be, Will Be

River flow today>>>>>> get this,,,,84 cfs!!!  Then, i read that we can expect this drought to last at least another year.  I don't believe we have caused this climate change.  It's a cycle that has repeated thru out history.  I've read a lot of the pros and cons, and i do my part conserving, but what will be, will be.  

Been waiting on a call back from the dietitian in Austin all morning.  Why do they wait so long to return a call?  Guess it doesn't matter, i left my cell phone #, so i can get it anywhere, anytime.  My Doc here, called me yesterday very concerned about getting the pneumonia that way, and said it can't keep happening, lol, which i fully agree with.  She called it asphyxciated pneumonia.  (Spelled like it sounds)  For the first time, i'm feeling almost normal.  

The man that keeps my yard work done, is here today, trimming dead stuff.  Wow, it's a LOT.  Now i need to call the city to pick it up.  It's 2 huge piles.

Darn it.  Have to go to Austin and get some of this fill out,, TODAY.  Bro B gonna take me.  Just when i've got it right.  Guess it's better than pneumonia tho. 

I need to make a trip to Walmart, long list.  Groceries, lol.  

I'll try to get back on here tonite, but, most likely tomorrow.

I Stand Up, U Sit Down

Finally!!!, Got the sheets off my bed, now i have to make it before nite.  That has been the worst part of being down.  It was time to change them before i got sick.  Woke up at 5:30, started coughing and couldn't quit until i got up, so i did, had one cup of coffee and got in my lounger and dozed til about 8:30. 

HJs talking about trains with no bathrooms,, just a plastic bag if necessary.   When we went somewhere with the boys, when they were little, i always took a jar.  Beat stopping all the time.  One had to go every little bit, it seemed.  When they got older, you could stop on the side of the road and let them stand between the doors.  Only time i ever did that,,,telling on myself now, was once,,after i had left a club, and had to really really go, so,,,i pulled over, went to the other side of the car,,,,and,,guess who just happened to pass by.  Yep, a darn cop.  Here they came,,i was pulling my pants up fast as i could when they stopped.  They made me stay there in my car ( i pulled over to a building) the rest of the nite.  I told them nothing better happen to me, they had better watch!  Then i slept, woke up with them banging on my window saying i could go now.  We used to always honk at guys doing that.  But women just have a bad time with it.  My son and my sister went running into the bathroom one time, when they were about 2 or 3, racing to see who could go first, and i heard him say, i'm a boy and ur a girl, know why?  I made sure i could hear this, so after she said no, he said,,i stand up to pp, u have to sit down.  hahahahaha,,Words out of the mouths,,,huh.
 
Been wasting time this morning putting flashblock on firefox, but ie doesn't handle them the same, so,,that was my time spent.  Think i might get rid of firefox and put chrome on.  I looked at the comparisons, and firefox has just lost it.  IE has lots more now, than firefox.  Do any of you use chrome? 

Weather just showed we had 5. 62 or 60something here.  YEAAAAAAA.  What do u think of that? hahahaha,,,

Sheets in dryer, gonna just put the same ones back. lolol, used to always do that with the kings.  Hated to fold em.  These are queens, not bad.   I'll just put on one, go back later, do the other,,,etc.  That's my plan anyway.

Guess i better check my tv guide.  Have one online.  See what i have to record tonite.  Pretty sure i have to do that on Mondays.

Yall stay safe, and well!!!, HAGD

12:45
LOVE chrome!! Been fooling around with it, getting settings like i want, etc.  Transferred all my bookmarks over, drag and drop.  Goodbye firefox.

What is That Stuff?

Rain, Rain, and more Rain!!! All nite long.  And more coming.  How can the cable have just one channel?  Makes no sense! 

OK back to rain!!!,,,River's up, creeks flooding, low water crossings closed.  Heard on scanner down at Kingsland slab, has 2 feet of water over it, closed.   And it was totally dry.  Saw where we might get as much as 2.65" overall.  That was on the one channel i can get this morning.  When i look to see what we got, it just shows since midnite.  O well, we got rain!!!

Electricity just now came back on.  Now i don't have even one channel.  O well, nothing i wanted to watch anyway,, fixing to take a nap.  Not sure that antibiotic is working.  I am so cold, i put on warm ups, lots better now.  Have a little heat on in here too.  I slept GOOD last nite so that's a big plus.  I've eaten a boiled egg, 1 pc of wheat toast.  My blood oxygen i'm watching, was 88-87 at first, then went up to 95, which is good.  After that bad bout of pneumonia, i bought one of the things that clip on ur finger and gives u a reading, just like the  docs.  lol  So i'm taking lots of deep breaths.  AND, i can move around enough to do a few things.  Just the chills and my eye sockets r sore.  Explain THAT!  Ok,,enough.  If i get to feeling worse, i'll go to the ER.  O yeah, i coughed for quite a while after i got up.

Maybe bl, nap time.

6:30 pm
Cable came back on, and then i had to set both the tv and vcr.  Haven't done a thing today, been in survival mode.  Napped a few times too. lol.  Watched a few episodes of Hoarders.  My Mom was one.  She filled every room in the house, all the outside buildings, everything, with mostly JUNK.  There was a trail to her bed and just one side to sleep on.  She kept buying freezers, had one even sitting out on the front porch.  Run out of room, buy another one. After she passed, took all 5 of us about 6 months to get rid of everything, and empty the house enough to put it on the market.  We just let it go, let her do it.  We knew it was a disease, but it seemed to make her happy.  She went thru the Great Depression, and i think that had a lot to do with it.  She'd buy things at garage sales, or other places, broke things, because they could be fixed.  Then they never were.  There was an old freezer out in one of the storage buildings that had been buried for about 20 years, not running.  Heck, couldn't even open the door to look in, let alone get to it.  No one wanted to open it and look, but bro B did, then shut it real quick, lololol.  I had picked up a pile of magazines and stuff off a shelf after we had worked out way over weeks, and put them in the wheel barrow to go to the HUGE dumpster, and he picked up one, and OMG, under it was about 10 of the newsletters i had worked on way back in high school!!  They covered all the happenings, news, etc, and were monthly.  To me, they were priceless.  It meant a lot to be mentioned in them.  In one, someone wrote about me, that when i got a new haircut, i got a new personality, lololol.  i had all kinds of wild ones.  A flat top with duck tails,,once.  I worked in the art dept. of it.  Back them, u cut stensils.

Enough for today, might be something coming on tv.  It's 7 pm.

Game Day l..l

OMG,,,can't sleep!,, Can't get on my stomach, that pushes up anything from it, then sometimes i burp or something, and wake up coughing.  Don't stop til i get up.  I put another pillow under me, raising up my head, maybe not enough.    My doc thot i might have to call my surgeon doc and ask about this.  I'm gonna pile up pillows tonite.  I'm also taking an over the counter thing for acid reflux, but takes 4 days to take effect.  Finally have gotten to the right place with my lapband, now this.  Gonna nap a lot today.

HOOK EM HORNS!!!  Game with OU coming on at 11:00.  Got a McCoy back in there quarterbacking, with a Shipley receiver.  Among others. lol.  I remember being on interstate 35 one time the day before this.  You've never seen anything like it.  1000s of kids and cars headed up there.

Been sitting here at my table watching lite showers come by.  Very very lite.  But it's wet.  DD, i bet u don't get a drop down there.  But,,i'll keep something crossed.

The 2 men got my storm door on yesterday.  Don't feel like doing pics today, but will later.  Not even up to a shower yet,,,,so hold ur nose. lol.

OK nap time,,,probably bbl.

Think I'm Recovering

How u like it?  Was reading about the changes in blogger, got into this.  I'll take a vote, like or not.

Lots lots better today.  In fact i woke up about 3.30, and in a bit, got up, paper was here, made coffee.  lol
After all that, went back to bed for a bit. 

DoT,,that's u, daughterof texas.  I did mention why i didn't post to ur blog, having to fill out too much private info, and it's because u don't use blogger.com.  You and 2 others.  That's why u can't post to ours.  Plz come join us.  As concerning ur age and career, that's about when i got into home health care, and it became my favorite of all the things i had done.  Sure beat sitting  behind the same desk, in the same chair, for 40 hours a week.  You can get just a short training to become a cna, and increase the pay, or go a little longer and become an lvn, which is really good pay in the field.  There's all kinds of jobs in the medical field that would require a little training and age would have nothing to do with it. 

Get out of there BB, u have to, if u can't blog u know.  Can't catch fish, can't blog, geeezzz,,,can't fix Bubba Boat,,cmon...

OOO YEAH!!! Almost forgot to mention these bugs we have called the kissing bug.  You'll welcome bedbugs,,,over these.  They are blood suckers too, but can cause this Chagas disease, and that's NOT GOOD.  I've seen em around here, but don't think i've been bitten by one.

 
The article was too long to post here, but look it up.  Also called cone nosed beetle.

OK drawing a blank, gettint tired, maybe bbl.
